Nick Gould, University of Manchester gave a plenary talk on ““He left the course 3 months ago?”: Web-based front-ends to student databases” at the IWMW 1998 event.
Abstract
This presentation describes efforts to manage large student numbers by using Web-based interfaces to databases. The systems developed aim to allow teaching staff easy access to up-to-date student information such as tutorial attendance and work done records, thus allowing academics to spend less time on “paper-chasing”. The presentation will discuss the techniques employed in developing Web-based systems and look at problems such as development-time and meeting user requirements.
